Every PC that came with Win8 has UEFI. That was mandated by MSFT.
On my single system with UEFI, "legacy BIOS" is a setting, not "UEFI."
I can't speak for any other distro, but Ubuntu recognizes UEFI and will deal
with the partitioning as needed. Dual boot really does suck.
It has been so long since the OP, I don't remember the details anymore. The
title is helping - you should still replace that HDD. ;)
